Mums not best pleased

Hi everyone
Mum has spoken with the consultant and because of her Angina they have her on
Beta blockers which will take the strain off her heart and lower her blood pressure. they want to do this to give her the best possible chances in her operation. which are good anyway because her heart is so strong anyway they just want to relax it so its less stress on her blocked arteries. the reason she is not amused is that this means she has to wait TWO WEEKS for the operation. other than that she is fine. sorry there was no post last night but i have been very busy what with going back to school soon and there was not much to report.
thank you all for your comments though :) again :)

Not Much To Report on Mum

Hi there everyone just a quick update today.
Mum is doing fine and in good spirits, she was thrilled with the comments i took in for her and has had a good read of them.
The only real news is that she may be moved back to Carmarthen so it is easier for us to visit before her operation and then moved back up there the night before.
ill keep everyone updated through the week
and thank you all again for the comments you have been leaving and i hope i didnt scare to many of you with my last post lol.

Mums Got a message

Hi again everyone its Ben. The night before last Mum Flat lined....
its ok the batteries had gone in her walk about heart monitor lol.

Last night I printed off everyone's comments and took them into mum today. came to about 13 pages lol. She wrote down something for me to put up for everyone.

"Hi Everyone,
Thank you all for your lovely comments and get well wishes. as you can imagine the diagnosis's came as quite a Shock. "Heart stopping stuff". I have Spoken to the Cardiac Surgeon this morning and he has told me that they will not operate for approximately 5 - 10 days until the blood thinning agent from my Angiogram is out of my system. The surgery can then take place and I'll be in the hospital for a further 5-10 days!! As you can all imagine I'm not used to being still for s long and it's driving me around the twist having to be escorted across the ward to the loo!!
Ben will keep you all updated, Love to you all
Debbie xx"

I will continue to print off the comments for mum every few days and pass on messages. thank you all for your comments again :)
ill post another blog tomorrow evening to keep you all up 2 date

Update again

Hi again everyone its Ben, mum is doing fine and is still awaiting her bypass. She has asked me to thank you all for your kind comments and calls and it means so much to her.
she is sleeping better and eating better now as she was missing her food before because she was in scans and undergoing tests. she is now up out of bed but the doctors are insisting that a nurse helps her to the toilet, she is not very impressed by this at all lol :)

Me and Dad went to see her this morning (Harry is at camp) and Dad has gone up tonight as well to see her and take a few things up there for her. When we were there today the doctor said "you don't do things by half do you" which quite amused her, this was the same doctor from Carmarthen who had referred her to Swansea.
Mum is in good spirits and is just wanting to come home but need to wait only a couple of weeks hopefully. i guess i should try and find out how the washing machine works lol.

Thank you all again for your comments I no they mean allot to mum, I will be printing them off for her so she can read them in the hospital as she does not have access to a computer, i have been reading them to her over the phone :)

Update On Mum

Hey everyone its Ben again just a quick update on Mum.
Mum was in some Pain last night and was moved immediately. She has now been moved to a larger Hospital so that she could get a Angiogram, which is where they put a camera into your artery either in the groin, wrist or neck. Mums was in her wrist. They found like her Dad she has Congenital Heart Disease which also means me and harry need to go get checked out. Mum has been put on an Emergency list for a QUADRUPLE Heart Bypass. She has two blocked Valves and two that are 80% blocked. she could be having the operation anytime in the next few days and then she will be in the hospital for a week after that and then house bound for about 4 weeks. so im sure she will be posting lots of blogs to keep herself occupied :).
i would just like to thankyou all for your lovely comments and im sure it means alot to mum and it gives her something to take her mind off all te needles :).
if anyone is calling this evening we are going back to the hospital and will not be back until after half past Nine.
Thankyou for all your comments and no Worries mum is a fighter

Debbies in the Hospital

Hi everyone this is Ben, Mum is not very well at the moment and is in Hospital. She is fine at the moment and is waiting to be transferred to a different Hospital for some more scans.
So she may not post a Blog for the next while.
If she is not back soon I will update the blog again and let everyone know how she is.

Happy 40TH Birthday Mick & Congratulations Ben

Today is my Hubby Mick's 40th Birthday. Happy Birthday Mick, hope you have a wonderful day, Love you Loads..xxxx

Tomorrow we are having a Party to celebrate his and Ben's 18TH Birthday which is in September. They decided to have a joint party, while the Summer Holidays are still on, plus Ben and his friends all got their exam results yesterday. Ben's and his friends are putting up tents in the Garden so they can stay the night!
So this week I've been trying to sort everything out for Saturday.
Ben did extremely well in his exams and do you remember the photography work I showed you for his final pieces. If you click on Photography it will take you over to the post. he got an "A" in both parts of the exam.
Well done Ben and Congratulations on your results, keep up the good work. Dad and I are really pleased for you.. xxx
